Small Town Girl

      When the latest boots from lassitude & ennui were released at We <3 Roleplay I had ideas of pairing it with other items from there. However others had the same idea so being the person that I am I went back to the drawing board. As life has it's way of making things hard for me by the time I had the outfit all picked out my hands decided that was time to start acting up. Yay auto-immune nonsense. Luckily my Sin came to my rescue and took photos for me. He's better at it than me anyway so it was really a nice silver lining.

      You may see more photos taken by him on the blog here and there as my hands go through fits of being giant balls of ache, but I will always tell you when he did the work. I won't take credit for something someone else has done.

I am Predictable

      I swear I tried not to go with the obvious choice, in fact I was thinking water or ice, but sometimes we can't deny who we are. I am Phire and I will always have a strong draw to fire. What am I talking about you may be asking yourself, or not, I'm not a mind reader. Well you see at We <3 Roleplay right now there are elemental tops, that happen to match the elemental pants from lassitude & ennui. There were options for elements and I was going to go with something icy, but it was not meant to be.  Instead I embraced my inner fire and well, here have a look.

      If you couldn't guess I had a little fun with this one. Fireballs and candles and so much red. It's a good thing I can only wield fireballs in the digital world, because I have a feeling I would keep the firefighters busy otherwise.

Wrong Choice

      They did say the cricket was for luck, I should have listened. At least I have my bead of jade for beauty. If you haven't figured it out I am referencing Mulan. When I saw the red animesh dragon from lassitude and ennui at The Ark i instantly thought of Mushu from Mulan. I wanted to go for a more modern look for Mulan, while still being me. The dragon will circle around you so maybe he is a good guardian, I mean he can't be any worse than Mushu right?

I Can Never Follow Instructions

      Once upon a time there was a young lady who was browsing the internet late at night. She stumbled across a page of DIYs including how to turn an old shirt into a cute little dress. Since the following day she had a date she thought this was a perfect DIY to try!



      Like many ladies she has some older t-shirts that she figured she could part with. She soon got to work snipping here and trimming there until it was time to get ready. She put on her new sexy underwear and then the "new dress"...



      To her horror the dress looked nothing like what she thought it should. That is when she noticed the actual directions she had been reading "Cute Couples Costume : Mouse and Swiss Cheese"! There was no way she was going to let her date see her, she was not that open with her appearance, no matter how bold she told herself she was.

The Birds Tell All

The little birdies carry all sorts of knowledge on their wings. The good, the bad and the ugly truth about happenings in other parts of the land. Listen I am trying to be mysterious here because I don't want to ruin the ending of Game of Thrones for those who haven't watched. The Final Winter events comes to it's end this weekend so if you haven't been and you are a fan of Game of Thrones or just roleplay in general you should go, go now! Don't even read the rest of this post...wait no scratch that, finish this then go.

I was attempting using some tools in SL with my photos this time. I think I need more practice, but that is not the point. The point is there are beautiful and unique things to be had at The Final Winter. I however am not one of the things available, but I do look good in the items.



Enjoy your shopping!

I drink...

      ...and pretend not to know things. Some may have little birdies, but I little dragons. Lets just say my secret tellers eat little birdies for dinner, quite literally.

      I won't spoil any endings here or anything, but lets just say wine is life sustaining for some. I mean I personally find wine to be quite enjoyable. Also if you drink sangria it's like having a fruit salad, just a bit more fun. I will show you the closer shot before I pontificate on the virtues of vino.

      I do suggest you go grab yourself a glass if you like, because well, wine.

Party Girls!

I am not a nightclub kind of girl, I am more of a local bar kinda gal. That being said I have agreed to go to clubs with friends in the past, when I was younger of course. The only kinda club you would see me hitting now would be the sandwich kind. I will hit up a "club" in my digital life, but that is mostly to listen to music and pretend I am social. Why am I admitting all this? Well it's because of today's post.

As you can plainly see you are partying it up with laser lights! Woohoo! Or maybe we are just using a background and are actually at my house. You will never know...until you read the credits. We do look pretty cute if I do say so myself, and I do.

We just need some drinks in out hands to make the look complete. At least I want a drink, maybe a nice refreshing gin and tonic.

Rubies and Cat's Eye

      Today I am bringing you a dress that I picked up at the Fantasy Faire, which has sadly faded back into the mists. You see I chose this dress because the colors reminded me of Kashmiri rubies and Cat's Eye. As with some of my purchases there is a personal connection to these two pretties. I won't bore you with the details today.



      As much as I would love to go into detail about every little thing, I am feeling a bit under the weather so you get a picture heave post with few words. Here is a closer look at the jewelry and pretty things.

Thoughtful Spot

      I tried to think of a much better title, but as usual by brain is fried. I have just finished (mostly) with moving so things are in a state of disarray. I will quite with the whining because I look to pretty, in my opinion, to be whining. Take a look for yourself...



      I love the way the this whole look turned out that I haven't changed it yet. My face sort of reminds me of Kira from The Dark Crystal, which I am totally down with. Here have a closer look.


      So maybe you are wondering to yourself how you too can get this look. Well first you need the credits, then you need to hit up We ♥ Roleplay, and other stores. I know you only really want the credits list. If you have any questions feel free to IM me in-world (Phire Zuhra).

Your Heart is Mine

      Dark Phire is out of her cage once again and this time she is taking no prisoners, only hearts. You would think with the start of the new year I would be all hearts, flowers and changes, but nope. Oh as for trying to blog more often, I have a bunch of photos to blog, but I have to go through and find all the credits again since my credits document got deleted in a computer clean up. But that is not what I am here about today, today is all about hearts. This isn't a metaphor for anything or anyone for that matter, although if you identify in it that way then Yay!...Maybe? You can't identify with anything until I show you a picture so here is it.



      As you can see someone has clearly had their heart mercilessly cut from their chest, don't worry I am not showing their body. I mean I can't be in trouble if I don't show the victim right? I mean it could be the heart from anything...maybe. I am not good with non-human anatomy. I am wearing red because if I have learnt anything from Deadpool, it's that red doesn't show blood as readily. Well I guess we really learnt that from his blind room mate, but that is neither here nor there. I did do a good job of not getting all that bloody.



      Now that I have terrified anyone reading this into thinking I am some sort of criminal maniac, I swear I am not. I have just watched way to many murder shows on tv. I have gotten the side eye on occasion for watching a marathons of some of them. Okay I am doing a bad job proclaiming my innocence so I am going to move on to the credits.

Fiona without her Shrek

      Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if Princess Fiona was saved by Prince Charming instead of Shrek? No, well fine you live a different life than me and that's cool. Anyway, I have this feeling that Fiona wouldn't be happy with Prince Charming, that she would feel like something was missing from her life. Let's face it Prince Charming is pretty vain and I think he would bore Fiona to tears. Maybe she would go off looking for her own adventures, and that could be fun, but I think something else might happen. I think that Fiona would constantly find herself wandering into Shrek's Swamp, feeling herself drawn to that stinky place.



      There she would find herself searching for something. Something unknown to her, but she would somehow know it when she saw it. Though what could she hope to find in a stinky dismal swamp? Sure we all know she was missing out on the ogre love of her life, but sadly she is unaware of this fact. Moral of the story...I have no idea actually, but hey it's Friday!

The Broken Hearted

     There she is in the quiet unused corner of her home, everything seeming frozen in time. The cobwebs from the spiders who call this spot home have covered the walls and furniture, yet they never seem to be brushed away. The only thing fresh and new is the rose clutched in her hand as she stares at the cake that would have marked their union.



      While it seems the objects in this corner have remained untouched by time, the forgotten bride has not fared as well. The years show their mark upon her skin, her once flawless skin now wrinkled and marred by age. The heart she once proudly wore as a gift from the man she was to wed now rest against her skin hastily repaired. While the favor from him may have been repaired the heart that once skipped a beat at the sight of him is now in pieces in her chest. Never in her time alone was she able to find anything or anyone that could put those tattered pieces back together.

Beware the girl in the club

      At least once in you digital life you should hit a club or cafe in SL. I ma not saying you have to be all social or anything. You can dance in a corner all by yourself and be quiet as a mouse. A fun thing to do while dancing is profile peeping, you can learn all sorts of things about a person that way. You do have to beware of some girls, they may be super eager to bring you back to her place. Heck you maybe anxious to get back to hers too.



      However you must remember that old saying of buyer beware. While she may look all sweet and cute, she may have a terrifying secret. Maybe she lives with her parents. Possibly it's her roommate that may be the scary factor. Maybe he home is decorated with sad clowns, I know that would be a nightmare situation for me!


      It could just be possible that you will never even make it back to her place. It may not be what is in you pants that she is after. Maybe she wants something more...like your soul!

Elf work is hard

       Can anything beat a mid-day nap, I mean other than a liquid lunch. That's right I blog for the first time in a month and it's all about booze and sleeping. Hey a girl has her priorities. I would love to say I didn't blog because I was off doing something really awesome, but the truth is my mess of an inventory scared me so much I was crippled by it. Today I forced myself to clean up my mess. I found many treasures buried in there. Hopefully I will get off my bum and blog all the things. For today I have some goodies from current events. I figured it was easier to start that way. Onto the credits as I have to go wrap a birthday present in my non digital life. And a Happy early birthday to my partner in crime Sakuradawn!

Goddess or Madonna Costume Reject

      Have you ever been sorting your inventory and then just started playing with the clothes that you have, or recently gained? That is how this post came about. While I had time I hit up some of the events that are and were going on. I am a pose junkie so of course I hit the Pose Fair. I am also have a mild obsession with gachas, so it hit up Lootbox too.



      As I slowly started adding pieces I thought I looked Goddess-like, and a little under-dressed, even if everything is all covered up. So I went to visit some friends to get their opinion. As I was standing there I realized I had a sort of Madonna vibe going on. Not the virgin one, the like a virgin one.


      When I visited friends I did have bright red lips, so it was a little more startling than the tamer color they are in the final pictures. The robe as you can see is sheer so I went with a thong underneath because, well I can be a little on the modest side. You know says the lady whose boobs are only covered by silver shields. Well you can't win them all can ya?

An Adorable French Dancer

      When I saw the first picture for the Sarina skin from DeeTaleZ for the skin fair I almost immediately thought of Audrey Hepburn in the movie Sabrina. I knew I needed it being a fan of Audrey Hepburn movies. However when I wore it I realized I looked like a different film star from around the same time, Leslie Caron. If you don't know her you can Google her or I can tell you she was in a film called An American in Paris (1951). Gene Kelly was the lead in that one, but she dances too. She is even making appearance in film and movies today.


      In a lot of pictures you can find she has short hair, so that is what I tried to match after I realized I was more Leslie than Audrey. Still the skin makes me feel like a star from the 50's and that isn't a bad deal if you ask me!

My Dancer Dreams

I know Thanksgiving here in the US was almost a month ago, but hey this is a bust time of year! Anyway every year I watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, it's a tradition around here. As always I watch The Radio City Rockettes do their thing, and my feeling are mixed. It's a mixture of awe and jealousy. You see I am about as coordinated as a newborn calf. Saying I have two left feet would be putting it nicely. I always have delusions of grace when I watch them on television. Here is what I see in my head....



As you can see in my dreams I am elegant, graceful and ever so festive. I guess one out of three isn't bad...right?



When reality sets back in it can be a little saddening. Luckily I get to make my house look all pretty and festive to recover from the harsh reality.

A special pet

We have all heard that after a while an pet parent and they non-human child will start to look alike. Well a certain someone has a pet of mythical proportions and let me tell you she and Nyssa are looking more and more alike each day.



Luckily she doesn't have talons or wings like Nyssa, but that just may be coming sooner rather than later. Just look at the way she has tattooed her face. She is one devoted pet parent!


At least with a pet phoenix she never really has to worry about it dying. I am fairly certain that beautiful creature will outlive us both.

The Many Loves of Black Widow

                   Every year about this time the Black Widow make her way to the graveyard. It's her own private graveyard where she visits old friends. And by friend I mean her old lovers. You see she is a Black Widow, not just because all her husbands die oh no, that would be too simple. You see she is a demon, the kind who gets foolish mortals to marry her, and then they die. They die without anyone ever being the wiser. It's like they just vanish from all memory. All memory except for hers. So every year she comes to see her forgotten loves.


                   Some she mourns more than others. He may not have been her first, but he will always be her favorite. If she could turn back time, maybe change her ways he could come back to her. Alas it seems to be only a dream for her for she is who she is. Next year she will be back and there will be more forgotten for her to visit.

The Spider

                            “Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly, 

                      'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;

                       The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, 

                       And I've a many curious things to show when you are there.” 

                               The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt

That start to the poem is what inspired me for this post. It somehow seemed fitting. Maybe it was because I used items from The Twisted Hunt, or maybe it is from playing too much Overwatch. Either way it works.

I look fairly sweet and innocent, but below deep dark secrets are kept. Dark deeds are done in even darker corners. Are you willing to be my Fly?
